DOC: configuration: update "Environment variables" chapter
There are some variables, which are set by HAProxy process (HAPROXY_*). Some of them are handy to check or to redefine in the configuration, in order to create conditional blocks and make the configuration more flexible. But it wasn't clear in the documentation, which variables are really safe and usefull to redefine and which ones could be only read via "show env" output. Latest changes in master-worker architecture makes the existed description even more confusing. So let's sort all HAPROXY_* variables to four categories and let's also mark explicitly, which ones are set in which process, when haproxy is started in master-worker mode. In addition, update examples in chapter "2.4. Conditional blocks". This might bring more ideas for users how HAPROXY_* variables could be used in the conditional blocks.

Some variables are defined by HAProxy, they can be used in the configuration

file, or could be inherited by a program (See 3.7. Programs). These variables
|
||||
are listed in the matrix below, and they are classified among four categories:
|
||||
|
||||
* usable: the variable is accessible from the configuration, either to be
|
||||
resolved as-is, or used within conditional blocks or predicates to enable
|
||||
or disable this some configuration fragments, as described in section 2.4
|
||||
"Conditional blocks".
|
||||
|
||||
* modifiable: the variable can be redefined or unset in the configuration via
|
||||
"setenv"/"unsetenv" keywords.
|
||||
|
||||
* listed: the variable is listed in CLI's "show env" command output,
|
||||
described in section 9.3 "Unix Sockets commands" of the management guide.
|
||||
|
||||
* exported: variable is exported to launch programs in a modified environment
|
||||
(See section 3.7 "Programs"). Note that this does not apply to external
|
||||
checks which have their own rules regarding exported variables.
|
||||
|
||||
There also two subcategories "master" and "worker", respectively marked 'M' and
|
||||
'W' in the table below, showing the differences between the two processes when
|
||||
HAProxy is launched in master-worker mode.
|
||||
|
||||
* master: the variable is set and accessible from the master process. So, it
|
||||
will appear in the master CLI's "show env" output and it can be used in
|
||||
conditional blocks or directives to enable some special settings for the
|
||||
master (see examples in section 2.4 "Conditional blocks").
|
||||
|
||||
* worker: the variable is set and accessible from the worker process. It will
|
||||
appear in the worker CLI's "show env" (or the master CLI's "@1 show env")
|
||||
and it may as well condition some worker process parameters (see examples
|
||||
from section 2.4 "Conditional blocks").
|
||||
|
||||
In standalone mode (without "-W" option nor the "master-worker" keyword) the
|
||||
process behaves like a worker, except for variables "HAPROXY_MASTER_CLI" and
|
||||
"HAPROXY_MWORKER" which are not defined.
|
||||
|
||||
Some variables are marked as not usable and not modifiable:
|
||||
|
||||
* HAPROXY_CFGFILES
|
||||
* HAPROXY_MWORKER
|
||||
* HAPROXY_CLI
|
||||
* HAPROXY_MASTER_CLI
|
||||
* HAPROXY_LOCALPEER
|
||||
|
||||
Their values are undefined during configuration parsing, they are set later
|
||||
during the initialization. So, it's recommended not to use these variables
|
||||
within conditional blocks and not to reference them in the global section's
|
||||
"setenv"/"resetenv"/"unsetenv" keywords.

||||
